These two ladies made their costumes as well

When we were outside, it was then that we met up with Trefor, who had been given a flag to fly and go up front with others in the parade .. we met up after though

Another flag bearer

This guy I believe was the main organiser of the event

Just before we set off the flags big and small were flying

There were Cilts/Kilts everywhere ..

A modern version of a Welsh Dress .. x marks out of 10 please

Then we were off ..

And set loose into the centre ..

Thats one end of the Millenium Stadium in the background .. its a huge place

We also caused large traffic queues as we went along

This lady got a bit hungry and took time out for a bite ..

Heading up one of the shopping streets

The drummers, beavering away .. they were brill by the way

Heading towards the Civic Buildings where the march was to have a 'rally'

**Derek** · 2nd March 07, 04:30 AM

These guys n gals were great ..

Approaching the end .. The National Museum of Wales. Its undergoing a big clean up and the girls in the pic are waving at all the building contractors who are leaning over the scaffolding waving to everyone

The rally which lasted about 20 mins .. we all finished by singing The Welsh National Anthem and were then asked to ask 3 people over the next year to come on the march again and help it grow year by year. So all you X Markers who could and would like to make it, will be VERY WELCOME to come Wales and join us.

Then we all met up with Trefor again and went to one of the wetherspoons pubs for some more well earned beer

Anyhow, I hope between Trefor and myself we have been able to portray a little more about our small homeland ..
